Palais
Fragrance notes
Character
Palais opens with a bright lemon note that feels immediate and sharp. Lemon verbena joins it to add a leafy edge, keeping the citrus from sitting flat. The top feels clean and direct, with no heavy sweetness or rounded fruit to soften the initial impression.
The heart introduces petitgrain and neroli, which bring a mild white floral tone to the profile. Sage and lavender follow, adding an herbal dryness that balances the citrus. The lavender is present without dominating, and the sage keeps the blend from leaning too far into a traditional soap shape. Vetiver and tonka bean form the base, where the vetiver adds a dry woody texture and the tonka contributes a light vanilla warmth.
The result is an aromatic citrus that suits warm daylight and open air. It feels composed for someone who wants a fresh herbal scent with a gentle woody finish. The tonka bean is subtle, but it still pulls the fragrance toward a soft sweetness that may not satisfy those looking for a strictly dry vetiver.
